The 'Secret of the Heavens' and the 'Secret of Number': Immanuel of Rome's Mathematical Supercommentaries on Abraham Ibn Ezra in His Commentary on Qohelet 5:7 and 7:27 (2021)

unapi

Immanuel of Rome, the Hebrew Dante, penned a very large collection of Biblical commentaries, mostly still in manuscript. Most of them are strongly anthological in character, pieced together from other sources, mostly Maimonidean but not only, and including a good deal of philosophical and scientific material. This is certainly the case in his unpublished commentary on Qohelet, which borrows material from Maimonides, Samuel and Moses ibn Tibbon, among others, and also Abraham Ibn Ezra, whose commentary on Qohelet also frames two extended mathematical supercommentaries. This paper publishes these two supercommentaries together with English translation and sets them in broader literary, exegetical, and scientific context.
